Principle

Narratives drift when language, strategy, behavior, and evidence diverge.

Definition

Narrative Drift™ measures the gap between what an organization says, what it does, what stakeholders experience, and what evidence shows.

Operating Law

Narrative drift destroys trust and reduces transformation probability.

Implications

  • 1.Boards should monitor narrative consistency.
  • 2.Websites, investor materials, culture, and execution should be aligned.
  • 3.AI-generated language can increase drift if not governed.
